"This is a good hotel where I have eaten good meals. It now has an elevator to the top terrace floor where drinks and meals are available. One can eat light snacks or lager meals. The views from the terrace at the top of the hotel are wonderful. The staff are always helpful.
The manager is an excell..."ent woman and she is always very helpful and I can fully recommend the hotel.

"Probably one of the better eating establishments in Zanzibar. Quality of food very good, service very good, staff friendly. Down side was credit card facility was unreliable which did cause some concern to us but thank goodness we did have sufficient USD so payed the bill in cash."

"Great affordable Swahili food served caferia style. We had stew (vegetarian and liver) with rice and chapatis. Communal seating (indoor and outdoor). Fast and friendly service! A plus is that you can wash your hands in the restaurant. Very family friendly"

"Enjoyed cappuccino and lattes everyday while in Stone Town. Lunches were tasty and inexpensive, but the big draw is the coffee. Charming atmosphere and friendly staff. Can be challenging to find along narrow, windy streets, but worth the effort."

"We stayed at the Zanzibar Coffee house and the hotel and the café were great. Breakdfast on the roof top and light meals at the café wrere good and served with a smile. Both café and hotel very good value."

"Delicious 5 course menu (fixed and changes from day to day) I have been there 4 times in 2 months, all have been a very good experience. The food is great, the wine menu very nice and the staff is so polite, serviceminded and sweet. The atmosphere here is so romatic and authentic, its a must-do when..." in Stone Town!!

"On our first day in stone town my wife and I just picked here randomly as a place for a drink on way back to our hotel. Later when we were looking for a place to eat we saw it came recommended and went back. The food was fantastic and the cocktails were even better and all reasonably priced. On our ..."2nd night we returned for cocktails with some friends after watching the sunset from the Africa House hotel (cocktails not as good, smaller and more expensive), when our friends left we stayed for dinner. The cost of 8 cocktails, 1 beer, 1 glass of wine, 1 water and two 2 course meals was €65 which is v cheap. On our last night we returned again just because we knew it would be excellent. We tried a variety of foods from menu and it was all excellent though maybe a little on the small side. The cocktail menu is extensive with 7 types mojito alone, they have somehow managed to better the classic mojito by turning it into a spiced mojito. The staff were very attentive even ringing our friends...

"Lovely position right on the edge of stone town harbour and beach area, Service was good although english was a little challenging but we managed, food extremely tasty but other than for the rice, the portions were tiny. I would return there though as food was so tasty..
The restaurant is called Me..."rcury's after Freddie Mercury from Queen who grew up in Zanzibar.

"Beautiful settings, authentic and romantic atmosphere, serviceminded staff, delicious food. Allround a very good experience!! I went there 5 times in 2 months, and will recommend it to everyone visiting Stone Town!!"

"Fantastic, amazing food. Totally unique. Lovely rooftop setting where we saw the moon rise -spectacular and just added to the magic. The chef here is a genius and created oustanding flavours. Simply one of the most memorable meals I've ever had.
Do go if you love food (and your partner) #romant..."ic

" It's pricy (75000 TZS) but it was the absolutely best meal we had on the island during the 8 days we stayed. 4 courses, excellent choise of wines, and a fantastic service made the roof top terrace with view over the beautiful beach in front of Serena hotel worth every shilling."

"Nice food however it takes a little more time to order and get a just a plate of plain chips during peak lunch hour!
Plus point: you can eat right in front of the ocean while hearing the swishing of the waves.

"When in Stone Town, this restaurant / hotel is a MUST. The coffee is very much above average, and the staff is extremely nice and accommodating. The room is unique in itself, refreshingly devoid of a t.v. Private, stand alone bathrooms enhance the experience: one feels as if they are experienci..."ng life as it were 100 years ago. The rooftop breakfast is special. Again, this establishment is not be missed ... It would be a crime to do so. Enjoy!

"The moment we stepped into the hotel we were welcomed by the front desk and following 3 flights of stairs the manager of the restaurant which I thought was a nice touch. I recommend getting to the restaurant before sunset as the views are truly spectacular. We were explained the menu and it was clea..."r the the produce was fresh and of a high standard. Overall I enjoyed the experience very much. If I had to be critical, I felt that some of the dishes required more seasoning (but this is a minor critique). I think this is 'a must do' restaurant if staying in Stone Town.

"I was under the impression this place was expensive - it's not and certainly not for what you get. We had a gorgeous lunch in beautiful surroundings for 4 people for £20! Not only that we needed quick service and despite a power failure they delivered. So recommended for food, price and interesting ..."surroundings as well as service at lunchtime. We'd have gone back for dinner if we'd have been staying longer

"What i like the most about Lukmaan is that you get to see the food before you order it and it is always hot,fresh and ready to be served.You can either sit there or have it packed.They also have nice fresh juices.You can see tourists,residents and locals enjoying their meal daily in a clean and rela..."xed atmosphere.They don`t serve yesterday food as it is all consumed or given to the stuff at the end of the day.
